Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 1031741, member: 71"] A) There was a time when I absolutely would have believed the premise on UVA's need to associate themselves with quality academic institutions. I've known quite a few 'Hoos over the years and have a full understanding of their beanie wearing pomposity. With that however I believe all of that went out the window the day that great Jeffersonian university voted to add Louisville (a school that Mississippi St looks down at) to their ranks. I believe the UVA we all once knew is now gone. B) I believe (entirely an opinion) that the SEC wants a presence in both Virginia and North Carolina. I also personally believe that due to the better match of culture, Va Tech is the SEC's preferred candidate and the SEC would be Va Tech's preferred destination. If the B1G does appear to show interest in VPI, it could motivate both the SEC and UVA to make moves that they have currently been hesitant to make. [/QUOTE]
